Epigrammatic Truths.
At a recent meeting of the New York
Anti-Poverty Society Rev. DR.. Penti-
cost, of Newark. made a lengthy adj
dress. The following are a few of the
gems OF thought which fell from his
lips:
If you liberate a man from chattel
slavery into industrial slavery, you
knock off the IRON shackles, but you
leave him in social shackles more Sc

We of the Anti Poverty Society-the
Anti-Poverty Political party, if you
please.
There are millions of men to-day in
the bonds of industrial slavery.
We have raised the cross of this new
| crusade, and if it is stricken from our
hands God will raise up others to plant
it on the battlements Of victory.
We have discovered the cause OF in
dustrial slavery and are going by legis-
lation to change it; and if the slave
owners revolt so much the worse for
them.
A good many people thank the Lord
that they don't understand Henry
Georges works. If they really feel so
thankful to the Lord for their ignor-
ance they have much to De thankful
for.

sThe Streets of New York" is a
play which will retain its power to
amuse an audience as long as we
have with us the memory of
the New York "Boy"-the boy of
the Battery, who used to spend his
day crying papers or backing boots
on Broadway and Fourteenth street,
and his nights criticising the read
ing, the gestures and all the fine
points of acting in the gallery of
the old Park Theatre. Badger"
is that boy grown to manhood
through some of them remained
"boys" till their heads were streak
ed with silver-and he is the soul
and centre of "The Streets of New
York" OF course there are sBlood-
good" the cruel, criminal banker;
"Paul Fairweather," and his mother
and sister pathetically cropping
through scene after scene; "Mark
Livingston" the soft-headed and
softer-hearted young aristocrat, who
would be done up in ten minutes in
the Wall Street of to-day; "Puffy"
with his kindly wife and his rough
diamond of a son-all of them are
there: but that they are merly foils
to "Badger" has been shown all

ment of Mr.. Flood from all connec-
ton with the concern will be a
decided increase of the interest
taken by the bank in the promotion
and development of mining inter-

that direction than in any other ;

rs HE INSANEP
The Theory that English
Georye IN Sha mn ming.

Not long ago English George who
was sent to the Penitentiary for
horse stealing, was declared insane
and removed to the Asylum. Ev-
erybody about the Prison considered
MIN as crazy as bed-bug, but DR..
Lee believes that he has assumed
his craziness that he may be where
he has better chance to. escape.
All persons who desire to be con-
sidered insane assume the role of a
maniac, a difficult role to sustain,
instead of dementia, which is easy
to feign. A real maniac will go
for weeks without sleep but the man
playing the role has to suocumb.
George for weeks raised a terrible
rumpus but was always obliged to
sleep and perspired freely. A mani

is now in doubt about his being
insane and keeps a close watch.

NOT THAT SORT.
A Man who Made n Slight
Mistake.

| Yesterday a citizen of Carson
was driving along the road to the
Lake in buggy when he met two
good looking girls on buck board.
They halted their team and made
some inquiries about Carson. They
said they had driven from Califor-
MIA, and wanted to know if there
was good place for them to camp.
He said he would show them a
place, and added that as the wealth
er was cold they might need some
one to keep them warm, INDUCING
in winning smile as he made the
remark.
In an instant one of the young
ladies pulled out six shooter and
said:
"See here, Mister, we don't al
low that sort of talk"
He at once whipped up his horse
and left them.
They proved to be two young
ladies who came over from Cali
fornia by way of the Yosemite.
They told an APPEAL reporter last
evening that they had been three
months on the road, living on the
game they killed. They had per-
feet arsenal of shotguns, rifles and
revolvers. When half way down
the grade they found their horses
tired, and Jim Vair made box
and they rode down the flume the
rest of the way, hiring Vair to lead
the horses down to the end of the
fume. They took dinner at the st.
Charles, and started for Reno on
the buckboard in the evening.
They told the reporter they lived in
San Francisco, but did not desire
their names published.

Shaxvhan the Broker.

Seven years ago John Shawhan a
broker levanted from Virginia City
and left busted bucket shop be-
hind for his creditors. He has rep
resented that he has been finan-
cially broken ever since but the fol-
lowing extract from letter signed
by his two sons, would indicate
that he did well by his failure. 1t
says:
The fact that he has deserted his
wife; that he has failed to provide
for her or any of his children dur
ing the last seven years; the fact
that he has been enabled to do so
and has been living in ease and
comfort during this time is absolute
ly true. He has compelled his wife
to live on the bounty of her children
as we have been compelled to bear
his burden, and each and every as
sertion of his derogatory of his wife,
is not only false, but is inserted, We
believe, by him with a malicious
design.

The Reno Journal has the follow

Hon JSann p. Jones will visit the

cile, and whatever was lost in the

Yesterday afternoon a woman
near the box factory saw an en-
brodiered petticoat hanging on a
neighbours line which she had lost
several weeks before. She went in
and snatched it. Neighbor came
out with broom and there was a
lively time. 1t then transpired
that the Chinaman had carried the

the trouble. Matters were adjusted

Contemplate Falsehood.

The Report says: Louis Hirsh-
berg returned today from San Fran
cisco, and leaves tomorrow to ar
range his business at the Nevada
State Fair. He says there is a re-
port in Sacramento to the effect that
our Fair is postponed to October l..
This is undoubtedly circulated to
injure us, for there is no postpone
ment. We should think that Cali
fornia's million inhabitants would
scorn to resort to infamous lies to
advantage themselves of our Co.

Bill Jones' Mean Trick.

"It was awful hard that winter at
Tidioute when the Triumph Hill ex-
citement broke up" said an old oper-
ator. 1.-The boys were most starved,
and it did seem as if we were never
going to pull through to dandelion
time. What set us crazy every MORN
ing was to see Bill Jones setting out
for the wells with a paper bundle
under his arm and a pair of chickens
legs sticking out of one end. The
idea of that fellow having chicken to
eat when we were skirmishing for
beans broke us all up. The boys
watched him day after day passing by
with a chicken under his arm and a
self-satisfed look on his face until
they could stand it no longer. They
held an Indignation meeting, and re-
solved to come down like a wolf on
the fold and make Bill divvy up his
chicken. Next day Bill turned up
smiling with the paper bundle under
his arm, the chicken legs sticking out,
and nodded to the boys. The next
minute half dozen held him fast, but
he made no resistance, and looked on
with a quiet smile while the hungry
mob Investigated his dinner. What
do you think they found?"
"Chicken legsP"
"Yes, and stuck in piece of liver
that he was going to cook in his
shanty. 1t was a smart Aleck that
would play that day in and day out
before suffering fellow-men." oil City
